๐Ÿคฏ Following up on Yesterday's Polls on Tech Myths

Keeping up with all the ins and outs of technology in this rapidly changing world can be difficult. Itโ€™s completely understandable (and unavoidable) for a bit of false information to slip into the conversation here and there. But when misinformation becomes myth, it can persist in the culture for yearsโ€”long after itโ€™s been debunked.

In addition to looking at some popular tech tales people google around the US, HSI also surveyed people about the tech myths they still believe. Read what they found on HighSpeedInternet.

๐Ÿ“Š Post Length on Social Media

Think that #Twitter is the platform where brands keep their character length on the shorter side? Think again!

FACT: Tweets are longer than description text on #Facebook and #Instagram!

A
vulnerability discovered in #WhatsApp is being exploited to inject commercial spyware onto #Android and #iOS phones by simply calling the target - even if you don't pick up.

Once installed, the spyware can turn on a phoneโ€™s camera and mic, scan emails and messages, and collect the userโ€™s location data. WhatsApp is urging its 1.5 billion global users to update the app immediately to close the security hole.

The vulnerability exists in the following versions of WhatsApp:
- WhatsApp for Android prior to v2.19.134
- WhatsApp Business for Android prior to v2.19.44
- WhatsApp for iOS prior to v2.19.51
- WhatsApp Business for iOS prior to v2.19.51
- WhatsApp for Windows Phone prior to v2.18.348
- WhatsApp for Tizen prior to v2.18.15

๐Ÿ“ˆ Internet Advertising Revenues: Desktop vs. Mobile
Advertising revenues from mobile devices continue to grow faster than the overall market, with mobile increasing its revenue share to 65.1% in 2018.

As consumers continue to shift their viewing behaviour, advertisers have followed them. On a YoY (year-over-year) basis, mobile internet advertising revenues increased 39.7%, increasing its share of total revenues from 56.7% in FY 2017 to 65.1% in FY 2018. Reflecting the industryโ€™s overall growth is a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past 10 years of 16.8% which over the past few years has been largely driven by the growth of mobile. The rapid growth of the mobile #advertising platform has resulted in a CAGR of 53.8% over the past five years. Mobile revenues continue to benefit from advancements in single-click eCommerce, creative ad formats and placements on social media sites.

๐Ÿ“Š The State of Social Media Marketing
Sprout Social 2019 Index Report

Social marketers have a good idea which #SocialMedia platforms to use in order to connect with their target audience. Aligned with consumer behaviours, 89% of marketers say they use #Facebook as part of their brandโ€™s social strategy.

While Facebook reigns supreme, itโ€™s worth taking a closer look at which social platforms are most popular among certain age groups. Facebook, for example, is the primary platform where members of Generation X Like or follow brands (77%), but for members of Generation Z, #Instagram takes the cake (69%).

๐Ÿšซ Facebook's Battle with Fake Accounts

Last week, #Facebook published its third Community Standards Enforcement Report which shows the efforts the company is making to curb and remove controversial content. Between October 2018 and March 2019, Facebook said it removed 3.39 billion fake accounts, twice the number detected and removed in the previous six-month period. It is also more than a billion more than the 2.37 billion people who actively use Facebook each month.

Facebook is trying to fight mass account creations using a combination of #AI and human monitoring. Facebook claims that the vast majority of fake accounts disabled within minutes of their creation.
